AMESKHflNTS.

Mr. A. J. L3ne, advance agent for Gilmore's band, was in the city last week, negotiating with the Oratorio society for the band to come to this city. The society regarded the price as high and, therefore, negotiations were not completed. But it is probable that the famous band will be in this city sometime during May or June. The members of the society were not communicative about the matter.

The Ringgold orchestra rendered the fourth of their series of concerts at Germania hall last night to a good audience. The programme of ten pieces was well rendered and appreciated by the audience. The descriptive eelection, "Hunting Scene," was especially well received. The "Gypsy Baron" also seemed to be a favorite with the audience.

To-night there will be a final rehearsal of the Kirmess. E7erything now points to an artistic success in this entertainment, for which so much preparation has been made.

Louis James and Marie Wainwright will star separately next season, and the cause of it it is said to be Mr. James' conviction that his wife loved a wealthy young man nBmed Royle, who was acting in the company. There was a violent quarrel, Royle was "fired." and now a divorce, it is said, will be sued for..

Chicago Traveling Men Give Grip—Another Horse. INDIANAPOLIS, February 24.—Mr. T,

S. Quincy, of Chicago, president of the Traveling Men's Republican club of Chi cago, arrived in the city to-day bringing with him an elegant present for General Harrison. It is a taveling valise of the keystone pattern 14 by 10 inches in size and is the gift of the club. President Quincy, E. M. Walcott, secretary of the club, and Messrs. S. S. Corson, J. Q. Walker, J. L. Howe and H. W. Howe were the com mittee that collected the funds and ordered the valise which was manufac tured by Sans, Owen fc Co. It is prob ably the finest valise ever made. The material is sealskin, having a rough black finish. The exterior trimmings are triple gold plate. A complete set of Bterling-embossed silver toilet articles accompany the valise, fourteen pieces in all, and so arranged upon an upright leather tripod that they may be lifted out and placed upon the bureau. The present cost about three hundred dollars. On the inside in gold letters is the inscription: "Presented to General Benjamin Harrison, presi dent of the United States, by members of the Commercial Traveling Men's Republican club of Chicago, to commemorate their visit to him at Indianapolis,

September 22,1888."

General Harrison has fixed 10 o'clock to morrow for Mr. Quincy to call and present the valise, which will be just in time for the general to utilize it on his memorable journey.

Colonel Jno. A. Bridgeland, who has had charge of the purchase of General Harrison's horses, returned from Kentucky yesterday, bringing with him another fine thoroughbred for the White house stables, making four he has bought. Three of these horses are matches, hands high. Two of them may also be used under the saddle. They will be shipped to Wash ington this coming week. Colonel Bridgeland, who is an authority on horse-flesh, says that three of the generals horses are among the finest in £he land and he does not think the White house stables ever held a finer lot of carriage horses than it will during the coming administration.

Terre Haute's Delegation.

The Columbia club will occupy one Pullman car from here, on the Vandalia noon train, Friday. The car will be at tached at Indianapolis to the train carrying the members of the Seventieth Indiana regiment, General Harrison's regiment, which is to be his personal escort in the inaugural parade. It is expected that about one hundred and fifty members of the regiment will go to Washington. They are now gathering at Indianapolis from all parts of the country. ML S. J. Smock, county clerk at Winfield, Kas., a member of Company of the Seventieth, stopped in this city a few days ago to visit relatives on his way to Indianapolis. The members of the Columbia club, about twenty-four strong, will use this car while in Washington as a lodging place.

IN BAILROAD CIRCLES.

Cab, Caboose, and Ofllce Gleaning* of a Newsy Nature.

The Vandalia pay car was out on its tour last week. Friday the shopmen here were made happy, and Saturday the east division men were paid. The I. & St. L. car made one of its "unwelcome" visits on Thursday also.

W. D. Ewing has been made general manager of the Air line, recently obtained by Mr. Mackey, and now has control over all the Mackey line. Among additions contemplated by Mr. Mackey is a belt road for Columbus, Ind., this to take in all the manufactories there, and right of way has already been secured.

With the arrival of the cold snap Friday, came the delay of the Panhandle connections Saturday, and as usual in thin extremity, the Vandalia ran two sections of No. 1. "What is the cause of these delays?" was asked. "The principal reason is that the Panhandle trains are scheduled to make the same time in winter as in summer, and with the work they have to do, it can't be made." "R:ding in the cab is probably pleasant in this kind of weather," remarked the reporter to an old engineer. "Well, you may think so. To be sure when we have the cab closed up and are going ahead it is a little warmer than outside. But when it comes to backing up your train, then's when it's cold. And when a cab window breaks down on you it isn't as pleasant as you could ask for either." "Uncle" Billy Baugh, the veteran Vandalia employe, celebrated his 70th birthday Friday. Saturday he was at work in the round house as usual doing his share and possibly more in keeping the engines in good trim, as vigorous in appearance as a man many years younger. His experience in the building of the Vandalia, in running an engine on it, etc., might be told again were it not that it is pretty well known now by everyone.

The last of the four new Pittsburg engines for the Logansport division of the Vandalia, arrived last week. The new engines are Nos. 117, 113, 119 and 120, and the four increase the Mogul equipment on the Logansport to ten engines, including Nos. 108,109, 110, 111, 113 and 114. Nos. 110 and 111 are not now in regular use, but will probably be put on work trains as soon as the season opens up. These two have been in service over two years doing heavy work continuously.

The Vandalia pony equipment consists of three engines on the belt and three in the yards at Indianapolis, three the coal yards at Brazil, five in the ards here, one at Effingham, two at last St. Louis, one at Logansport and one on the coal branch at Marshall. This equipment is able to do an immense amount of work, both day and ight considered, and allowing for the itching done by regular freight engines all stations not mentioned, total amount of work can be vaguely imagined. Pony No. 1, which was in the shops for repairs was sent to Indianapolis yesterday in condition as good as new.

been known to experience in years. A dispatch came a few days ago, announcing that his brother, Nick Mnller, who was an engineer on the California Southern, had died, and that his body would pass through Chicago on the way to Reading, Pa., where the remains would be buried at their home. Mr. Miller's unfortunate sicknees prevented him from going, however. Mr. Nick Miller visited in this city several times in recent years, and is quite well known among engineers. The cause of his death is not known.

The Mackey Deal.

ST. Louis, February 24.—The purchase by the Mackey system of the Illinois & St. Louis railroad, Belleville to East St. Louis, with its branches to.the coal mines, and the Venice fe Carondelet leased line, became an established fact last evening. D. J. Mackey, president of the Evansville & Terre Haute, the Evansville & Indianapolis and the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, arrived in St Louis yesterday with G. F. Evans, general manager of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis, and during the day met the board of directors of the Illinois &, St. Louis and consummated the deals. Of the terms of purchase, President Mackey said: "We pay $1.25 for the preferred stock, which carried the control of the property. This represents a payment of $1,125,000. The gap between Mt. Vernon and Belleville will be built at once, and we may enter St. Louis over the new Merchant's bridge."

Young Gould has no practical knowledge of railroading, but would Bpeedily be broken in by his father and elder brother, George J. Gould.
